ok guys i need a little help.

What i want to do is upgrade my video card on my pos 100yr old comp. but with only a 4x AGP and 4 regular PCI slots its pretty much slim pickings. so i was wondering, what would be an affordable (under 100$) motherboard for me to upgrade to?

or, can i run a better video card on my AGP instead of my 32mb ATI rage ultra. (/shame)

help this no0b.
 
Dell dimension 4500
768mb PNY 3200 DDR2 RAM
Pentium(R) 4 CPU at 1.79Ghz
the 32mb rage
4 PCI's and 1 4x/2x AGP

hope thats everything. -.-
 
hmm, you dont need a new motherboard, agp 8x cards can run in a 4x slot unless you want PCI-E. i reccomend this

for higher end gaming or this

for mid end gaming or this

for lower end gaming & this

for a VERY low budget

As you can figure all of these cards will give a significant boost in performance
 
Your sure that the 4x/8x will fit in my 4x/2x? It says in the manuel that all i can get is 32bit transfer at the highest.

But thank you for giving me hope olol
 
as long as they both have 4x in it it will be fine, i did the same thing with my fx5700LE before i went skt 939
